A transverse wave propagating along the x-axis is represented by:
\(y=(x,t)=8.0\mathrm{sin}(0.5\pi x-4\pi t-\frac{\pi}{4})\) where \(x\) is in meters and \(t\) in seconds. The speed of wave is: 
1. \(4\pi\) m/s
2. \(0.5\) m/s
3. \(\frac{\pi}{4}\) m/s
4. \(8\) m/s

A wave in a string has an amplitude of 2 cm. The wave travels in the positive direction of the x-axis with a speed of 128 m/s and it is noted that 5 complete waves fit in the 4 m length of the string. The equation describing the wave is:

1. y = (0.02)m sin(7.85x+1005t)
2. y = (0.02)m sin(15.7x -2010t)
3. y = (0.02)m sin(15.7x+2010t)
4. y = (0.02)m sin(7.85x -1005t)
